abillybob Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 An extra day of the year and guess what.... We work it for free! SO should be a bank holiday wouldn't you all agree? Here's the Google Doodle:
mikeprice Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Actually in reality we get paid for 0.25 of a day extra every year and it gets evened out in leap years AND - don't go round telling people it is the 29th those of us who are single and have a partner will be worrying all day!!!
abillybob Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 I dont work it for free.... You work an extra day in the year. Is your employer paying you for that then? Actually in reality we get paid for 0.25 of a day extra every year and it gets evened out in leap years AND - don't go round telling people it is the 29th those of us who are single and have a partner will be worrying all day!!! Oh I did not know this. That's quite interesting I stand corrected
6Foot2 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Hadn't really thought about it. Not too bothered about holidays to be honest.
DJ-1701 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) According to tradition, if a woman proposes marriage on Leap Day to a man and he refused, the man was obliged to buy her new gloves on Easter Day. Edited February 29, 2016 by DJ-1701
hardtailstar Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 You work an extra day in the year. Is your employer paying you for that then? yes they are paying.
DalekSec Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 As a single very good looking (if I say so myself) person, I'm afraid women might be proposing to me in the street. Reality : I tend to get people running around screaming when they see my ugly mug
DJ-1701 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Unfortunately I am always the bridesmaid, never the bride... or something like that.
FN-GM Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 According to tradition, if a woman proposes marriage on Leap Day to a man and he refused, the man was obliged to buy her new gloves on Easter Day. That's quite a fair compromise (from the mans point of view!)
mikeprice Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 According to tradition, if a woman proposes marriage on Leap Day to a man and he refused, the man was obliged to buy her new gloves on Easter Day. Apparently in Sweden (or Norway or something) he has to buy her enough silk to make a skirt In any case - new gloves v. cost of wedding - you do the math(s)
halbaradkenafin Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Unfortunately I am always the bridesmaid, never the bride... or something like that. At least the dresses always look good on you. 1

Could be free for you
DJ-1701 Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 farther of the bride What kind of tradition is that?
Boredguy Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 At least the dresses always look good on you. Maybe at the weekend, but the looks @DJ-1701 gets when wearing high heels on a Monday morning can be comical.

sonofsanta Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 those of us who are single and have a partner How's that work, then? 1
mikeprice Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Is it not tradition for the farther of the bride to pay for the wedding.. Could be free for you Good point - still you could always do a deal with him and in any case - think of the expense of the next xxxx years - and I believe that divorce ain't cheap fortunatly I have managed to dodge the marriage bullet so far - but it is the 29th Feb and I am going round to my Girlfriend's later:eek:
